Route map & wildfire context

The highway is the orange route focus. Official fires, recent out fires, smoke and AQHI remain independently sourced layers. FireRadar does not convert them into a travel-safety claim.

Current corridor assessment

Below, FireRadar publishes a conservative current corridor assessment using direct-official wildfire information and available Environment Canada weather context. It is not a fire-spread forecast or travel-safety score.

Data freshness

Each source stands alone

Integrated road events revalidate every 5 minutes. Camera metadata revalidates every 6 hours; images use short-lived edge caching. An unavailable source stays unavailable—not zero.

Current heuristic only. FireRadar does not predict future fire spread in this stage and deliberately caps point-based assessments below Critical. Official road travelability remains separate.
